Running the last gen Mac Mini Server which Apple decided to not support past Catalina. As a fan of TaskPaper, this appears to be the point where Apple obsolesce hits me because macOS 11 is needed for Bike and some other new apps I have tried this month. With 16GB RAM, and the HDDs replaced with SSDs it is a perfectly capable desktop. I would upgrade macOS if I could, but it may be time to move it to Fedora. That won'…

OutlineEdit 3 supports macOS 10.14 and newer, including Catalina: https://outlineedit.com/home.html

OutlineEdit 3 is a great choice for a modern, native Mac outliner: https://outlineedit.com/home.html I am the developer and always looking for feedback on the app. So let me know any thoughts!

And for those who care: It also supports every macOS version back to and including 10.14 (Mojave)

Oh cool, I've been looking for a mindmap app. Oh wait - it is a subscription? Why? That makes zero sense.

Ah I didn't realise. I have it through SetApp, which itself is a subscription, albeit an easier subscription to swallow as you get access to a number of great apps.

Yup - without SetApp there are a number of apps I wouldn't otherwise be able to justify spending on individually; but as a group I get more than enough value.

It's a tough balance. Software doesn't age like fine wine sitting on a shelf - it lives in a dynamic environment. It's more akin to produce that will rot over time. Even if no new features are added, it still requires maintenance - by someone.

I can't believe this guy is writing software that runs on my computer and selling it for money. Feels like the good old days.

I also do this! There are a few grumpy old people around doing this for a living.

Aside: looks like the domain for the url in your profile expired and it now goes to some ad harvesting site.

Thanks, that's not my site - I've removed the link to it.

Can someone combine this concept with a task management/todo app? That would be perfect.

We're working on an outline app with task management/planning functionality. With end-to-end encryption and multiuser/teams support (you can see other users type like Google Docs). Early beta signup at https://thymer.com

> We're working on

Just quickly clicking around makes it look like you are not working on it. It's explained, but it would be better to change some things around so it doesn't look completely dead. E.g.

> You can follow our daily progress / We share our progress daily and share everything, from code to finances.

> This is today's entry (Apr 28 '22).

It also gives false hope one could see the product in two weeks (which was a week ago).

Just when I have mostly moved on to Linux - it looks incredible and I wish the project luck, I would love to use this on Linux one day

I'll echo that sentiment. After my 2015 MBP dies or is no longer supported, I'll finish my move to Linux. Biggest motivation is the need to run Linux VMs in x86 without having the hypervisor translate M1. Tried org-mode, couldn't get into it. Workflowy does it for me for the time being, since it's browser-based.

Workflowy is a truly category-defining solution that inspired an entire generation of similar products. I wanted a (preferably open-source) alternative which I could use with self-managed storage/sync without sharing any data and found Logseq to be pretty good.

You mean like Org-mode?

Umm ... I have always associated org mode with powerusers because of the implicit learning curve of emacs. Tools like workflowy/logseq are dead simple because anyone who has ever used a bullet list can instantly get productive.

I know that logseq also supports org files, but I am not well versed enough with org to comment how well it stacks up against emacs.

If you don't see how that's fluid and why it's valuable then that feature isn't for you. But it's certainly unquestionably fluid unlike a lot of other trash apps.

Not recognizing what the word is supposed to mean in this context doesn't imply any of those things.

It most certainly does, lol. There's a lot of programmers who have literally zero design aesthetic. I bet 99% of the people who don't understand what "fluid" means in this context fall into that category. Anyone with even a remote sense of aesthetics and design will immediately recognize the fluidness of the navigation/animation/flow

I've been using OmniOutliner for a long time, mostly to take notes in an organized fashion and I'm pretty happy with its functionality, however one thing it doesn't provide is split editing windows on the same outline. This is something I've used with Vim and found it to be very handy when editing code because I frequently needed to look at code at one spot in a file while modifying/creating code in another place in that same file. Anyone know if there is a macOS outliner that can do this?
